She also knew she could gain support from her mentor Mary Griffin and from the Punch Family Foundation (PFF).Stamos Martin, like Georgiana, was a Booker T. Washington high school student, and while he was excited about his acceptance to the Aspen Music Festival, he knew the $7,000 price tag would be a major hurdle. He called upon a small support team that included Gayle Punch of the Punch Family Foundation.Georgiana is now a sophomore student at Converse College in Spartanburg, South Carolina and aspires to attend the Harlaxton Music Festival (HMF) in Harlaxton, England. The $4,000 tuition does not include an additional $800 for airfare. On her own, Georgiana has managed to save $1,000 towards this trip. Unfortunately, the HMF offers no scholarships. Georgiana, a violist, is a sophomore music business major and former student of the Young Strings Program of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.Stamos and Georgiana each received $1,000 scholarships from the PFF to help with their music education -- scholarships they both attest have made all the difference in their access and entry to these institutions.The experience of having a musician pursue a goal of being in a symphony orchestra taught PFF founder, Gayle Punch, many lessons. The greatest was the importance of giving back. In 2006, the Foundation was able to give a $1,000 to Byron Martin who now studies the viola and music composition at an Oklahoma College. This year's challenge is to raise funds to assist music students like Stamos and Georgiana reach their potential. While most music programs offer scholarships, there are often additional costs which are not covered. These additional costs are often the prime roadblocks to economically limited minority students."It's important to help as many music students as possible if we are to see diversity in the orchestral programs across America," says Richmond Punch. Richmond is a violist and violinist who donates proceeds from all CD sales to the foundation (these can be purchased at the foundation website). He also donates his services to the annual benefit recital.Contact: richmond@richmondpunch.comAlso read the event I created with the location info and more specifics. Thanks!!

I graduated from Dawson College in 1992, and I've hardly been back since. The events of September 13th, 2006, stuck me in the heart. My time at Dawson was some of the best times of my life, I'll never forget that. Despite the attempts of one man to forever change what Dawson was, it is, and will always be a special place in the hearts of many. Hold on to that.The montage is not for those who lived the events, it's for those who didn't, and it is there for others to connect. This is a testament to what happened. Look past the fear, and sadness, and you will find courage and hope.We live in a mad world, there is no denying that, there was no sense to Kimveer Gills actions, do not spend one minute more trying to wrap your mind around the "Why?", because an answer will elude anyone looking to make sense of it all. Crying is very cathartic, I wholly recommend it, and one good cry does you a world of good. The montage was done as a way of eliciting this response. This collage of images is not without its good points; it also shows people moving past the events, taking back their school. The act of mourning is also the act of living.
